Re: [Jwebmail-devel] IMAP folders with cyrus

[Brett F. <br...@fo...>]

If I understand this correctly he wants to have a shared folder for jokes?

so normally:
user.someuser - is the inbox
user.jokes - shared jokes folder?

JWebMail only allows us to add folders from that point on in the hierarchy?

What was the change you committed?
